This savoury Japanese rice with soy-glazed bonito flakes and sesame seeds is a simple yet deeply satisfying addition to your high-protein diet. Known in Japan as okaka, this seasoned topping makes clever use of katsuo bushi to create a salty, sweet, and umami-rich finish. The combination of chewy short-grain rice and the delicate crunch of toasted seeds offers a beautiful contrast in textures that elevates a humble bowl of grains into a nutritious and flavourful meal.

Perfect as a standalone lunch or as a versatile side dish for grilled fish and miso soup, this recipe is incredibly easy to prepare at home. It is an excellent way to use up leftover bonito flakes from making dashi, ensuring nothing goes to waste in your kitchen. Whether you are looking for a quick post-workout recovery bowl or a comforting homemade dinner, this authentic flavour combination provides a reliable and healthy option for any day of the week.

Ingredients for Rice with Soy-Glazed Bonito Flakes and Sesame Seeds

Leftover katsuo bushi (dried bonito flakes) from making dashi or 240ml katsuo bushi fresh from package
1 tablespoon sake
1/4 colher de chá de açúcar
1 1/2 colheres de sopa de molho de soja
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
475ml Japanese short-grain rice
475ml de água

How to make Rice with Soy-Glazed Bonito Flakes and Sesame Seeds

If using katsuo bushi flakes from package, moisten with a few drops of sake or water. Finely chop katsuo bushi, then cook in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and mostly dry. Add sake, sugar, and soy sauce and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is dry and glazed. Stir in sesame seeds and spread on a plate to cool.

Rinse rice in a bowl in several changes of cold water until water is almost clear; drain well in a large sieve. Combine rice and 475ml water in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and let stand 10 minutes. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook at a rapid boil (lid will be rattling and foam may drip down outside of pan) 5 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.

Serve rice with bonito-flake topping.
